So to sum up the last few Posts in relation to the OP...

The reason Farish haven't re-released the Royal Scot in Crimson, is because the only previous model labelled as a Clan was from a different manufacturer (now not active in the UK market) and it was in reality simply a re-named Britannia (something that wouldn't be accepted in this day and age...)
Clear?

Here is an example of a Minitrix "Clan" owned by @msr (scroll down to bottom of messages to see photo):

As they say "To err is human. To really foul things up you need a computer"

Now my laptop has stopped charging!! Stuff a pelican! The machines are ganging up on me. At least the laptop is still working (fingers crossed...). Yes I've checked the fuse. Hopefully it just needs a new power lead.

Newman Miniatures produced a 3D print of a BR 'Clan' boiler that was available on Shapeways before the demise of that platform.  It was designed to replace the Dapol Britannia boiler to convert the model to a 'Clan'.

Had a somewhat similar issue recently with my laptop which wouldn't charge. Took it to my local 'geek' who swapped the charger for a more powerful one and discharged a small build up of static from within the body of the laptop and, so far, all has been well.

Thanks for all the replies. I checked the power lead earlier and also swapped it with the one from my laptop but still not working. I also tried charging it for 5 hours without success. Having run out of things to try at home we took it to the laptop shop. He tried it in his own charger and managed to get a couple of little lights to come on but nothing else so we've left it with him. I will report back.

Cheers,

Chris

It's worth checking that the power supply is working - a flat battery can't charge if there's no volts being supplied. Can you put a voltmeter to it to check the voltage?

I'd also check that the mains lead is firmly connected to the AC-DC power adaptor. Sometimes it can look like it is, but it's actually not. Similarly, check the fuse and if you're really desperate the plug socket!

... and if you're using manually operated points then the SPDT switch becomes the "lever" for wire-in-tube style of operation
